City Council City of Rocky River 21012 Hilliard Blvd. Rocky River, Ohio 44116 We have reviewed the Independent Auditors’ Report of the City of Rocky River, Cuyahoga County, prepared by Ciuni & Panichi, Inc., for the audit period January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Based upon this review, we have accepted these reports in lieu of the audit required by Section 117.11, Revised Code. The Auditor of State did not audit the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, we are unable to express, and do not express an opinion on them. Our review was made in reference to the applicable sections of legislative criteria, as reflected by the Ohio Constitution, and the Revised Code, policies, procedures and guidelines of the Auditor of State, regulations and grant requirements. The City of Rocky River is responsible for compliance with these laws and regulations. Dave Yost Auditor of State August 30, 2011

July 7, 2011 Citizens of the City of Rocky River Mayor Pamela E. Bobst; and Members of City Council Transmittal of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report The City of Rocky River, Ohio (City) is pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the year ending December 31, 2010. The CAFR is a more extensive report than basic financial statements and it is believed that the CAFR demonstrates the City's ongoing commitment to be accountable to its citizenry and to excellence in financial reporting. While no single report can be all things to all people, the goal in presenting this CAFR is to provide any person or entity interested in the City with information needed to gain a fair understanding of the City's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Ohio Revised Code Section 117.38 requires that the City certify and file, within one hundred fifty days after the close of the fiscal year, a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. The City issues this CAFR for the year ended December 31, 2010 therefore. The CAFR consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently management assumes responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive internal control system that has been established for that purpose. To provide a reasonable for making these representations, management of the City has established a thorough internal control framework that is designed to both protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The City strives to maintain a dynamic system of internal controls and procedures – including internal control over financial reporting – designed to ensure reliable financial record-keeping, transparent financial reporting and disclosure and protection of assets. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective of the internal control system is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. The City maintains an active Audit Committee to review the audit process; and to report to and make recommendations to City Council. The three Audit Committee members are residents of the City with expertise in financial administration and auditing. The financial statements of the City have been audited by independent auditor Ciuni & Panichi, Inc. The objective of an audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates

made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Based upon the results of the audit, Ciuni & Panichi, Inc. concluded that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the Financial Section of the CAFR. Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A complement this Letter of Transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. Profile of the City of Rocky River, Ohio The City of Rocky River is an established residential community located in northeastern Ohio that covers 4.48 square miles along the southern shore of Lake Erie west of the City of Cleveland, in Cuyahoga County. The Rocky River, which drains into Lake Erie, forms the eastern border of the City. The City’s population according to the 2010 Census was 20,213. The City is a home rule municipal corporation established pursuant to the general laws of the State of Ohio and its own charter. The current charter, which provides for the Mayor/Council form of government, was originally adopted in 1960 and last amended in 2008. The City is governed by a full-time Mayor elected for a two year term; City Council consists of seven elected members who serve two year terms. The Law Director is also an elected office holder who serves two year terms. The Mayor appoints the heads of the following departments: Building, Economic and Community Development, Engineering, Finance, Office on Aging, Recreation and Safety-Service. As of December 31, the City had 190 full-time employees, including the Rocky River Municipal Court. The City provides various services including police and fire protection, including emergency medical services, parks and recreation, senior services, street maintenance, sanitary and storm sewer services, planning and zoning, and general government services. Public health services are provided by contract with the Cuyahoga County Board of Health. Located in the City are the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Rocky River Municipal Court. Both provide services to a jurisdiction that extends to several neighboring communities. In addition to access to services by government entities, City residents may participate in the activities of a variety of local private institutions in the City including the Cleveland Yachting Club; Westwood Country Club; Oakwood Beach; Parklawn Beach; Wagar Beach; Lutheran West High School; Magnificat High School and numerous private elementary schools and churches that contribute to the sense of community in the City. Economic Conditions Local Economy Because of the proximity to major cultural, educational and medical facilities in Northeastern Ohio and ease of travel in the area, the City experiences a degree of economic stability; the City has experienced economic challenges not unlike the northeast Ohio region as a whole. The City’s fiscally responsible approach to economic factors associated with managing a built-out suburb, an understanding of mutual benefits to be derived from intergovernmental cooperation with neighboring communities and its proximity to the City of Cleveland, Ohio economy contribute a degree of economic stability now and for the foreseeable future. The tax base of the City’s municipal income tax consists of business (and employees) located within the City as well as individual, resident taxpayers. The largest organizations located within the City generating income

tax revenue are the City and the Rocky River City School District. Other significant industries in the City are senior citizen congregate housing and health care; banking; insurance (including health); and retail. Relative to residents’ incomes, the website www.city-data.com reports the estimated median household income in 2009 (the most recent data available) in the City is $60,240; while for the State of Ohio that amount is $45,395. City income tax collections increased by about one percent from 2009. Components of the increase were as follows:

Component 2009 2010 Change Employee Withholding $3,998,910 $4,015,456 $16,546 Business Profit 535,170 573,157 37,987 Residence Tax 3,307,068 3,331,207 24,139 Penalties & Interest 106,301 125,493 19,192

Total $7,947,449 $8,045,313 $97,864 An indicator of the economic strength of a primarily residential community is its property values. As compiled by the website www.city-data.com, the estimated median house/condominium value in 2009 (the most recent data available) was $199,064 in the City and $134,600 statewide. The City has experienced a decline in assessed valuation of real property of about three percent over the last five years. For taxing purposes, Cuyahoga County oversees real property appraisals within the City. Public Utility property saw an overall decrease in value of about 21 percent. Legislation in 2005 enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio eliminated the tangible personal property tax. The total phase out of the tax will be effective January 1, 2009. The legislation provided for the City to be reimbursed for the lost tax revenue on a sliding scale through 2018. Therefore, the tangible personal property value has been eliminated in the tax base. The net revenue affect over the recent five years of these several adjustments, is the City has experienced property tax revenue growth of just under 7 percent; however, there was about a five percent revenue decline compared to 2009. Major Initiatives Management of various phases of significant infrastructure improvement projects was the focus of attention of the City during 2010. The table below updates certain of the projects described in last year’s CAFR.

Interest free loans, that are funded by the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC), an agency of the State of Ohio, were obtained for the Valley View Area Sanitary Sewer and Hampton Road Sanitary Sewer projects. Also, to support these projects with a local funding source, in March 2008, the City began

collection of a fixed fee of $25 per quarter per household imposed in conjunction with sanitary sewer charges. In 2010, the City collected $1,733,336 from this fee. These projects have been determined as those of priority within the comprehensive sewer maintenance and rehabilitation plan drafted by the City Engineer in 2006. The U. S. Route 6 (Lake Road) project came together with a superfecta of funding sources: 1) U. S. Federal Highway Authority (FHWA) funds; 2) State of Ohio Urban Paving funds; 3) Cuyahoga County Community Development Block Grant funds; and 4) City (or local) funds. Phase I, a section of the planned road reconstruction was completed in November 2009. The City paid its portion of the project cost to the Ohio Department of Transportation, which is managing the project, in 2010 to fund Phase II construction. Long-term Financial Planning Through prudent planning, limited borrowing and reserved budgetary increases, the City has been able to manage through a declining revenue environment with limited service reductions or additional working capital borrowing. Carrying forward moderate reserves have served as budget stabilizing force for the most recent several years. The ability to continue to carry forward budgetary reserves will be challenged in the three to five year time frame. The City monitors cash flow in comparison to budget expectations throughout the year and attempts to be in a position to react to unexpected outside influences. Municipal Income Tax revenue accounted for approximately to 45 percent of total General Fund revenue; that amount was 42 percent in 2009 and 40 percent in 2008. Because this revenue source is economically sensitive and has remained relatively flat in recent years, the City’s financial position has continued to be negatively impacted because of a revenue decline first experienced from 2008 to 2009. In 2010, income tax revenue was short of budget expectations by about one percent. Some financial flexibility to provide resources for capital improvement projects, is gained by estate tax receipts (Intergovernmental Revenue); of which collections have ranged from $1.446 to $2.256 million in the most recent five years with an average of $1.963 million per year over that period. Property Tax revenue accounts for approximately to 22 percent of total General Fund revenue; that amount was 22 percent in 2009 and 20 percent in 2008. As of December 2010, the real property component makes up about 83 percent of the City’s Total Tax Valuation. A sexennial property revaluation, last undertaken by the Cuyahoga County Auditor in 2006, on behalf of all taxing districts in Cuyahoga County, resulted in an increase in the Total Tax Valuation of property in the City of approximately 10%. In April 2009, the Cuyahoga County Auditor, based on statistical analysis of sales prices and market conditions within the City, calculated a proposed valuation adjustment of a five percent decrease. However, several projects involving new construction to increase the tax base offset the decrease. The City continues to monitor the effects of the current real estate market on its Total Tax Valuation. The City uses on-going analysis of these and other revenue sources as a basis for its annual budget while balancing the need for reserves. In the most recent five years, the General Fund reserve (non-GAAP budgetary basis) has fallen within a range of 13 percent to 39 percent for an average of about 26 percent. Mutual agreements with other governments to provide services to City residents are always a consideration for any projects undertaken. Currently, income tax collection, wastewater treatment, certain safety services, justice services, park management, air traffic monitoring and marine patrol are provided by contract with other governments or managed by multi-jurisdictional related entities.

Awards and Acknowledgements Certificate of Achievement The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement of Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ending December 31, 2009. This was the twenty-third year that the City has received this prestigious award. A “Certificate of Achievement” is awarded to the City when its publication is issued with easily readable language; is efficiently organized and comprehensive; and conforms to the programs standards for an annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a one year period only. The City believes the current CAFR continues to meet the award program requirements, and will submit it to determine its eligibility for another certificate. Acknowledgements The publication of the CAFR is a significant step in the ongoing effort toward superior financial reporting. City Council’s commitment to excellence of the City in general and support for this project in particular are sincerely appreciated. The City would like to express its appreciation to the firm of Ciuni & Panichi, Inc. for its professional services for assistance with the preparation of the 2010 CAFR. The CAFR represents a coordinated effort among departments of the City; each department takes pride and care managing the assets of the public that are under its control.

Independent Auditors’ Report Members of the City Council Rocky River, Ohio We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rocky River, Ohio (the “City”), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City’s management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2010, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows where applicable, thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General and Recreation Center Funds for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets, GASB Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, and GASB Statement No. 58, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Chapter 9 Bankruptcies. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated July 7, 2011 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

The management’s discussion and analysis information on pages 3 through 13 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

City of Rocky River, Ohio Management's Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)

For the Year Ended December 31, 2010

The administration of the City of Rocky River, Ohio (City) offers this Management’s Discussion and Analysis to provide a narrative overview and analysis of the City's financial activities for the year ended December 31, 2010. The intent of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis is to look at the City's financial performance as a whole; readers should also review the Transmittal Letter and the Basic Financial Statements to enhance their understanding of the City's financial performance. Financial Highlights Key financial highlights for 2010 are:

Total revenues were $30,345,490, a decrease of 2.5 percent from 2009. Total expenses were

$30,662,372, a slight increase over 2009 levels. Because the revenue decline, total net assets decreased $316,882 or 0.5 percent.

Total assets decreased by $1,608,449 or 1.6 percent from 2009.

Total liabilities decreased by $1,291,567 or 3.8 percent from 2009.

Total capital assets increased by $1,169,623 or 1.7 percent from 2009.

Total outstanding long-term liabilities decreased $521,343 from 2009, a decrease of 2.2 percent.

Using This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) consists of a series of financial statements and notes to those statements. These statements are prepared and organized so the reader can understand the City as a financial whole or as an entire operating entity. The financial statements proceed to provide an increasingly detailed look at the City’s specific financial condition. The Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities provide information about the activities of the whole City, presenting both an aggregate view of the City's finances and a longer-term view of those assets. Major fund financial statements provide the next level of detail. For governmental funds, these statements tell how services were financed in the short term as well as what dollars remain for future spending. The fund financial statements also look at the City's most significant funds with all other non-major funds presented in total in one column. Reporting the City of Rocky River as a Whole Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities While this document contains information about the funds used by the City to provide services to citizens, the view of the City as a whole looks at all financial transactions and asks the question, "How did the City do financially during 2010?" The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting similar to the accounting method used by the private sector. The basis of this accounting takes into account all of the current year's revenues and expenses regardless of when the cash is received or paid.

These two statements report the City’s net assets and changes in them. The City’s net assets, the difference between assets, what the City owns, and liabilities, what the City owes, is one way to measure the City’s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net assets are an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. Also other nonfinancial factors, however, such as changes in the City’s property tax base, income tax base, and the condition of the City’s capital assess (roads, buildings, and water and sewer lines) should be considered to assess the overall health of the City. In the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, the City is divided into two kinds of activities:

Governmental activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported here, including police, fire,

streets, refuse collection, parks, recreation, and general administration. Property taxes, income tax, state shared revenues, court fines, and recreation fees finance most of these activities.

Business-type activities – The City charges a fee to customers to help it cover all or most of the cost of certain services it provides. The City’s sanitary sewer activity is reported here.

The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities are divided into the following categories: Assets Liabilities Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities) Program Revenue and Expenses General Revenues Net Assets Beginning of Year and Year's End Reporting the Most Significant Funds of the City of Rocky River Fund Financial Statements The presentation of the City's major funds begins on page 18. Fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City's major funds based on the restrictions on the use of monies. The City has established many funds that account for the multitude of services, facilities and infrastructure provided to City residents. However, these fund financial statements focus on the City's most significant funds. The City’s major funds are the General, Recreation Center, General Obligation Bond Retirement, Sewer Rehabilitation, Capital Improvement and Sanitary Sewer Funds. Government Funds Most of the City's activities are reported in the governmental funds that focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end available for spending in future periods. Governmental funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that are expected to be readily converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City's general operations and the basic services it provides. Government fund information helps the reader determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future on services provided to residents. The relationship (or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds is reconciled in the financial statements.

Proprietary Funds The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. The first, enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for the operations of its sanitary sewer charges. The second, internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City maintains this type of fund to account for health, prescription, and dental related employee benefits. Because this activity predominantly affects governmental rather than business functions, it has been included within the governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary fund financial statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found beginning on page 28 of this report. Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City’s administrative oversight. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources are not available to support the City’s own programs. The City has an Investment Trust Fund and agency funds to report within the fiduciary fund category. Agency funds are reported on a full accrual basis and only present statements of assets and liabilities. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential for a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found starting on page 33 of this report. The City of Rocky River as a Whole The Statement of Net Assets looks at the City as a whole. Table 1 provides a summary of the City's net assets for 2010 compared to restated 2009 balances.

For the City, Total Assets exceed Total Liabilities by $66,579,185 as of December 31, 2010. $50,727,373 reflects the investments in capital assets (land, construction in progress, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures and infrastructure) less any related debt to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. These capital assets are used to provide services to the City’s citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although, the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. Total Assets for 2010 decreased by $1,608,449 or 1.6 percent when compared to 2009. The decrease in Total Assets was influenced by a decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents of 18.0 percent while an increase in Capital Assets percent moderated the decrease. The City’s Total Liabilities decreased $1,291,567 or 3.8 percent when compared to 2009. The largest decreases were due to accrued wages and benefits and the timing of the last payroll.

Governmental Activities Governmental activities decreased the City’s Net Assets by $1,019,737 during 2010, compared to a decrease in 2009 of $92,536. The difference between 2010 and 2009 change in Net Assets is attributable to a decrease in General Revenues. Both Program Revenues and General Revenues fund the City’s governmental activities. The amount that Charges for Services revenue contributed to Total Program Revenues increased $447,413 from 2009 to 2010. Actual Charges for Services received over that period increased 6.5 percent. The City collects Charges for Services for the operation of the Rocky River Municipal Court; recreation; senior service; and building department fees. The Municipal Income Tax is the largest source of the City’s General Revenues. The income tax rate of 1/2 percent was established by City Ordinance No. 81-67, passed August 28, 1967. The income tax rate was amended on June 24, 1968 by City Ordinance No. 82-68 to increase the income tax rate to 1 percent and then on March 28, 1977, City Ordinance No. 5-77 approved an increase in the income tax rate to 1-1/2 percent and a change in the tax credit for residents having income taxable in another community. The income tax revenue amount for 2010 was $7,959,539, a $298,005 increase from 2009. The City monitors its sources of revenue very closely to react to any changes or fluctuations. The City accounts for municipal income tax revenues in the General Fund. Property and Other Local Taxes are 38.3 percent of Total General Revenues. Two factors have recently negatively impacted the property tax base. First, the phase out of the tangible personal property tax enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio. And also, economic and real estate market conditions compelled the Cuyahoga County Auditor, who sets real property values, to cause a valuation decrease of five percent in the City. Both factors were offset by an increase in the collection percent experienced in 2010 from an estimated 96 percent to an actual 99 percent collection. Going forward, it is beginning to appear the property tax valuation decrease of percent will have an impact on the related revenue of the same magnitude. Grants and Entitlements decreased 40.9 percent from 2009 to 2010 due mostly to grant money received for capital projects in 2009. The amounts collected by the City under provisions of the Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5731, Estate Tax are recorded as Entitlements. During 2010, $1,446,147 was received as current distributions. The City accounts for Estate Tax revenue in the General Fund. Total Program Expenses for 2010 were $28,106,107, a 0.8 percent decrease from 2009 levels. Program category increases occurred for General Government; Community Development and Basic Utility Services. Moderating those increases and resulting in an overall expense decrease, expenses were lower in the program categories of Security of Persons and Property; Public Health; Transportation; Leisure Time Activities and Interest and Fiscal Charges. During 2010, the largest program category function for the City is Security of Persons and Property, which includes police and fire protection. This program accounts for 32.1 percent of expenses and decreased by $613,856 or 6.4 percent from 2009. A favorable health insurance claims year contributed to about 23 percent of the noted decrease. Other factors were decreased in the level of expenditures for fuel; vehicle maintenance; overtime (and therefore a decrease in related pension contributions) and equipment maintenance.

The General Government program category accounts for 27.0 percent of Program Expenses. An increase of 9.6 percent or $666,124 occurred in this program category from 2009 to 2010. This program category reports the accumulated activity of the Rocky River Municipal Court; and other administrative functions of the City. The aforementioned affect of a favorable health insurance claims year was offset by increased cost related to property tax collections; municipal income tax collections and workers’ compensation premiums. The Leisure Time Activities program category was the third largest for 2010 and comprises 14.0 percent of Program Expenses which decreased by 7.5 percent from 2009. This program activity was affected by the elimination of a full-time position in May 2010 as well as a pay freeze for part-time, seasonal employees and an effort to control employment levels. Business-Type Activities For Business-Type Activities of the City, Charges for Services are the primary source of revenue. That revenue decreased 11.2 percent from 2009 to 2010. Capital Grants and Contributions revenue increased 66.2 percent from 2009 to 2010. This revenue category increase is related to the undertaking of Phase II of the Valley View Storm and Sanitary Sewer project, the largest phase. The Program Expenses are comprised of charges to operate the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant as well as the cost to operate a crew of four employees to maintain the sanitary sewer collection system. The City's Funds Governmental Funds The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on a near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, the unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. Information about the City's governmental funds begins on page 18. These funds are accounted for by using the modified accrual basis of accounting. As of December 31, 2010, the City’s governmental funds reported combining ending fund balances of $10,719,566. Of that amount, $5,455,737 constitutes unreserved fund balances, which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The $5,263,829 remainder of fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed to liquidate contracts and purchases of prior period(s). All governmental funds had total revenues of $27,092,111 and expenditures of $29,119,277, leaving a $1,369,613 current year deficit, after consideration of the sources of $657,553 in other financing sources and uses. The General Fund is the most significant fund as it is the source for providing a significant portion of resources for governmental activities such as police, fire, service, legislative, and administrative functions. In 2010, the General Fund had total revenues and other financing sources of $17,945,884 and expenditures and other financing uses of $18,873,515 resulting in a decrease in fund balance at December 31, 2010 of $927,631. This represents 4.91 percent of the current year General Fund expenditures and other financing uses. Revenues were approximately $359,334 less than last year’s revenues while expenditures were

approximately $1,815,400 less than last year’s expenditures primarily due to a decrease in transfers out of approximately $1,000,000. The Recreation Center Fund accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City’s recreation facilities and activities. In 2010, the Recreation Center Fund had total revenues and other financing sources of $3,069,166 and expenditures of $3,024,946 resulting in an increase in fund balance of $44,220 at December 31, 2010. Revenues were approximately $118,556 above last year’s while expenditures were $263,375 less than last year’s expenditures. Since many of the recreation activities are subject to weather conditions, a warmer summer in 2010 compared to 2009 contributed to the revenue increase. Elimination of a full-time position in May 2010 as well as a pay freeze for part-time, seasonal employees and an effort to control employment levels impacted the lower level of expenditures. The General Obligation Bond Retirement Fund accounts for the repayment of general obligation bonds of the City. In 2010, the General Obligation Bond Retirement Fund had total revenues and other financing sources of $1,417,644 and expenditures of $1,575,068 resulting in a decrease in fund balance of $157,424 at December 31, 2010. Revenues ended $40,391 below last year’s revenues while expenditures were $11,385 less than last year’s expenditures due to the repayment of bond principal and interest. The Sewer Rehabilitation Fund accounts for a $25 per quarter fixed fee charged on all sanitary sewer accounts and is used to provide resources to rehabilitate the City’s sanitary sewer infrastructure through acquisition, construction or improvement. In 2010, the Sewer Rehabilitation Fund had total revenues and other financing sources of $1,676,686 and expenditures of $1,831,613 resulting in a decrease in fund balance of $154,927 at December 31, 2010. Revenues approximately equaled last year’s revenues while expenditures increased about $914,910 as improvement project construction activity ramped-up in 2010. The Capital Improvement Fund accounts for the various projects of the City financed by tax monies and General Fund transfers. In 2010, the Capital Improvement Fund had total revenues and other financing sources of $1,495,365 and expenditures of $1,262,663 resulting in an increase in fund balance of $232,702 at December 31, 2010. Revenues ended approximately $1,467,762 below last year’s revenues mainly due to a decrease in intergovernmental revenue. General Fund Budgeting Highlights The City's budget is prepared according to the general laws of the State of Ohio and is based on accounting for certain transactions on a basis of cash receipts, disbursements, and encumbrances. The most significant budgeted fund is the General Fund. During the course of 2010, the City supplemented the General Fund budget once. However, there was no change in total budgeted expenditures. The General Fund’s actual expenditures, not including other financing uses, were $1,405,272 under the final budgeted amount of $16,869,792. All capital projects and requests for capital type purchases are included in the annual appropriations ordinance and any supplemental appropriations ordinance(s) as necessary. Recommendations for budget changes are presented to City Council as a supplemental appropriations ordinance. The City administration may make budget changes that modify line items within departments within the same fund. The General Fund supports many major activities such as the Police Division, Fire Division, Engineer/Building, Finance, Rocky River Municipal Court, and Economic/Community Development Departments as well as the legislative and most executive activities. Some major capital projects are funded

with General Fund dollars. These funds are transferred from the General Fund to Capital Improvement Fund where the revenue and expenditures for the capital improvement project are tracked and monitored. For the General Fund, the original budgeted revenues were $17,519,122 and increased by $673,442 to $18,192,564 for final budgeted revenues, not including sale of capital assets.

It is through this type of financial assistance as well as grants and careful use of debt that the City proved able to improve upon capital assets and at the same time maintain revenue at a level that enables debt service loads at comfortable margins.

Current Financial Related Activities The City has historically enjoyed steady growth in revenues as a result of a strong tax base and moderate levels of new residential development and at the same time adopted a strong, fiscally responsible financial plan to function within available revenues. Because of economic growth of the tax base, the City has not needed an increase in taxes since 1993. The Mayor and City Council work extremely hard at keeping the debt burden low. The City makes financial plans so that certain improvements may be paid from current revenue and to maintain a high level of services. The City has committed itself to financial excellence which is proven by the bond rating Aa2 by Moody’s Investors Service that was last affirmed in 2005. The City’s commitment to its residents has always been one of full disclosure of financial matters of the City. This CAFR is available to all residents who wish to review it.

Note 1: Description of City and Reporting Entity The City of Rocky River (City) is a home rule municipal corporation, established under the laws of the State of Ohio and operated under a charter. The charter provides for a Council/Mayor form of government whereby the Mayor is the administrative officer of the City. The Charter was originally adopted in 1960 and has been amended periodically; most recently in 2008. The Mayor, Law Director and seven member Council all serve two year terms. Reporting Entity For financial reporting purposes, the reporting entity is comprised of the primary government, component units and other organizations that are included to ensure that the financial statements of the City are not misleading. The primary government consists of all funds, departments, boards and agencies that are not legally separate from the City. The City provides various services including police and fire protection, health, parks and recreation, street maintenance, planning and zoning, sewer services, municipal court, senior adult and general administrative services. The operation of these activities is directly controlled by the City Administration and City Council (through the budgetary process). None of these services are provided by a legally separate organization; therefore, these operations are included in the primary government. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the City is financially accountable. The City is financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing board and (1) the City is able to significantly influence the programs or services performed or provided by the organization; or (2) the City is legally entitled to or can otherwise access the organization's resources; the City is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the responsibility to finance deficits of or provide financial support to the organization; or the City is obligated for the debt of the organization. Component units may also include organizations for which the City approves the budget, the issuance of debt, or the levying of taxes. The City has no component units. The Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant (Plant) is a joint venture among the cities of Rocky River, Bay Village, Fairview Park, and Westlake. The Plant has a Management Committee consisting of the Mayor of each Member City or his/her designee and a fifth member who is appointed by the four Mayors. The Director of Finance of the City of Rocky River serves as fiscal agent for the Plant. The Plant is managed by the City of Rocky River with a report of operational activities made to the Management Committee annually. Personnel at the Plant are employees of the City of Rocky River. Pursuant to the organizing agreement (and amendments), the Plant is jointly owned by the Member Cities with each Member City’s share being in proportion to its contribution to the total cost of constructing certain improvements. The Plant is a joint venture in which each Member City has an equity interest. The City has an explicit and measurable equity interest in the Plant. There exists a residual interest in the assets upon dissolution of the joint venture. The City also has an ongoing financial responsibility for its share of the joint venture liabilities. Additionally, the City has an ongoing financial responsibility since the City's participation is essential to the continued existence of the Plant. The Plant is further described in Note 10 of the basic financial statements.

Note 1: Description of City and Reporting Entity (continued) Reporting Entity (continued) The City participates in other organizations: jointly governed organizations and a related organization. See Notes 19 and 24 to the basic financial statements for further information. The City also participates in a Joint Economic Development Zone, see Note 25 for further information. Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The City also applies guidance issued on or before November 30, 1989 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to its governmental and business type activities and to its proprietary funds provided they do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. The City has elected not to apply FASB codification, issued after November 30, 1989, to its business type activities and enterprise fund. The more significant of the City's accounting policies are described below. A. Basis of Presentation The City’s basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including a statement of net assets and a statement of activities, and fund financial statements, which provide a more detailed level of financial information. Government-wide Financial Statements The statement of net assets and the statement of activities display information about the City as a whole. These statements include the financial activities of the primary government, except for fiduciary funds. The activity of the internal service fund is eliminated to avoid “doubling up” of the related revenues and expenses. The statements distinguish between those activities of the City that are governmental and those that are considered business-type. The statement of net assets presents the financial condition of the governmental and business-type activities of the City at year-end. The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each program or function of the City’s governmental activities and for the business-type activities of the City. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service, program or department and therefore clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the program, grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program and interest earned on grants that is required to be used to support a particular program. Revenues which are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues of the City, with certain limited exceptions. The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each governmental program or business activity is self-financing or draws from the general revenues of the City.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) A. Basis of Presentation (continued) Fund Financial Statements During the year, the City segregates transactions related to certain City functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Fund financial statements are designed to present financial information of the City at this more detailed level. The focus of governmental and enterprise fund financial statements is on major funds. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Non-major funds are aggregated and presented in a single column. The internal service fund is presented in a single column on the face of the proprietary fund statements. Fiduciary funds are reported by type. B. Fund Accounting The City uses funds to maintain its financial records during the year. A fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self balancing set of accounts. The City reports three categories of funds: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. Governmental Funds Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions are financed. Governmental fund reporting focuses on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources. Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purposes for which they may or must be used. Current liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be paid. The difference between governmental fund assets and liabilities is reported as fund balance. The following are the City's major governmental funds:

General Fund The General Fund accounts for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund balance is available to the City for any purpose provided it is expended or transferred according to the charter of the City and/or the general laws of the State of Ohio.

Recreation Center Fund The Recreation Fund accounts for membership fees, program fees, general fund subsidies and levied property tax revenue used for the operation and maintenance of the City's recreation activities. General Obligation Bond Retirement Fund The General Obligation Bond Retirement Fund accounts for resources that are utilized for the repayment of general obligation bonds of the City.

Sewer Rehabilitation Fund The Sewer Rehabilitation Fund accounts for a fixed fee sanitary sewer charge to be used for the accumulation of resources to rehabilitate through acquisition, construction, or improvement the City’s sanitary sewer infrastructure.

Capital Improvement Fund The Capital Improvement Fund accounts for the various projects of the City financed by tax monies and general fund subsidies.

The other governmental funds of the City account for grants and other resources whose use is restricted to a particular purpose.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) B. Fund Accounting (continued) Proprietary Funds Proprietary fund reporting focuses on the determination of operating income, changes in net assets, financial position and cash flows. Proprietary funds are classified as either enterprise or internal service.

Enterprise Fund Enterprise funds may be used for any activity for which a fee is charged to external users for goods and services. The City’s major enterprise fund accounts for the collection of sanitary sewer charges. This fund also accounts for the City’s joint venture investment in the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant. Internal Service Fund Internal service funds account for the financing of services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. The City’s internal service fund accounts for a self-insurance program for employee health benefits.

Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary fund reporting focuses on net assets and changes in net assets. The fiduciary fund category is split into four classifications: pension trust funds, investment trust funds, private-purpose trust funds and agency funds. Trust funds are used to account for assets held by the City for individuals, private organizations, or other governments and are therefore not available to support the City’s own programs. The City’s trust fund is an investment trust fund established to account for the investing activity of the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant which is managed by the City. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and thus do not involve measurement of results of operations. The City’s agency funds are for deposits, the Tri-City Council of Governments, donations and bequests, Municipal Court, and the S.A.F.E. Council of Governments. C. Measurement Focus Government-wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are prepared using a flow of economic resources measurement focus. All assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of the City are included on the Statement of Net Assets. The Statement of Activities presents increases (e.g. revenues) and decreases (e.g. expenses) in total net assets. Fund Financial Statements All governmental funds are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances reports on the sources (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and uses (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) of current financial resources. This approach differs from the manner in which the governmental activities of the government-wide financial statements are prepared. Governmental fund financial statements therefore include a reconciliation with brief explanations to better identify the relationship between the government-wide statements and the statements for governmental funds.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) C. Measurement Focus (continued) Like the government-wide statements, all proprietary funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. All assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the statement of fund net assets. The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net assets presents increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenses) in total net assets. The statement of cash flows provides information about how the City finances and meets the cash flow needs of its proprietary activities. D. Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting determines when transactions are recorded in the financial records and reported on the financial statements. Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting; proprietary and fiduciary funds also use the accrual basis of accounting. Governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Differences in the accrual and modified accrual basis of accounting arise in the recognition of revenue, the recording of deferred revenue and in the presentation of expenses versus expenditures.

Revenues - Exchange and Nonexchange Transactions Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the year in which the resources are measurable and become available. Available means that the resources will be collected within the current year or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current year. For the City, available means expected to be received within sixty days of year-end. Nonexchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include income taxes, property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from income taxes is recognized in the period in which the income is earned. Revenue from property taxes is recognized in the year for which the taxes are levied (See Note 6). Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. On the modified accrual basis, revenue from nonexchange transactions must also be available before it can be recognized. Under the modified accrual basis, the following revenue sources are considered to be both measurable and available at year-end: income tax, State of Ohio levied locally shared taxes (including gasoline tax and motor vehicle license fees), fines and forfeitures, interest, grants and entitlements and rent.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) D. Basis of Accounting (continued) Unearned/Deferred Revenue Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Property taxes for which there is an enforceable legal claim as of December 31, 2010, but which were levied to finance year 2011 operations, have been recorded as unearned revenue. Grants and entitlements received before the eligibility requirements are met are also recorded as unearned revenue. On governmental fund financial statements, receivables that will not be collected within the available period have also been reported as deferred revenue. Expenses/Expenditures On the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are recognized at the time they are incurred. The measurement focus of governmental fund accounting is on decreases in net financial resources (expenditures) rather than expenses. Expenditures are generally recognized in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred, if measurable. Allocations of cost, such as depreciation and amortization, are not recognized in governmental funds. E. Cash and Cash Equivalents To improve cash management, cash received by all funds is pooled. Monies for these funds, including proprietary funds, are maintained in this pool. Individual fund integrity is maintained through City records. Each fund’s interest in the pool is presented as "equity in pooled cash and cash equivalents”. Investments of the cash management pool and investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time they are purchased by the City are presented on the financial statements as cash equivalents. Except for nonparticipating investment contracts, investments are reported at fair value which is based on quoted market prices. Nonparticipating investment contracts and nonnegotiable certificates of deposit are reported at cost. The City has invested funds in the State Treasury Asset Reserve of Ohio (STAR Ohio) during fiscal year 2010. STAR Ohio is a statewide investment pool managed by the Ohio Treasurer of State. Participation is offered to Ohio political subdivisions as defined in Ohio Revised Code Section 135.45(F)(2)(a). STAR Ohio is not registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company, but maintains a policy to operate as a “2a7 like pool” in a manner consistent with GASB Statement No. 31 “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools.” Investments in STAR Ohio are valued at STAR Ohio’s share price which is the price the investment could be sold for on December 31, 2010. Investment procedures are restricted by the provisions of the City Charter and the general laws of the State of Ohio. Interest revenue credited to the general fund during 2010 amounted to $25,156, which includes $14,550 assigned from other City funds.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) E. Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued) The City serves as fiscal agent for the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant. A related individual investment account is presented as “cash and cash equivalents in segregated accounts” and represent deposits or nonnegotiable certificates of deposit which are reported at cost. During 2010, investments purchased through this account were limited to a nonnegotiable certificates of deposit and are reported at fair value. F. Inventory Inventories are presented at cost on a first-in, first-out basis and are expended/expensed when used. Inventory consists of expendable supplies. G. Deferred Charges Bond issuance costs and any premium or discount are deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds using the straight-line method since the results are not significantly different from the effective interest method. H. Investment in Joint Venture The investment in the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant joint venture is reported using the equity method of accounting. I. Prepaid Items Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond December 31, 2010 are recorded as prepaid items using the consumption method by recording a current asset for the prepaid amount and reflecting the expenditure/expense in the year in which services are consumed. J. Capital Assets General capital assets are capital assets which are associated with and arise from governmental activities. They generally result from expenditures in the governmental funds. General capital assets are reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net assets but are not reported in the fund financial statements. Capital assets utilized by the proprietary funds are reported both in the business-type activities column of the government-wide statement of net assets and in the respective funds. All capital assets are capitalized at cost (or estimated historical cost) and updated for additions and retirements during the year. Donated capital assets are recorded at their fair market values as of the date received. The City maintains a capitalization threshold of $2,500. Improvements are capitalized; the costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an asset’s life are not. Interest incurred during the construction of proprietary fund capital assets is also capitalized.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) J. Capital Assets (continued) All capital assets are depreciated except for land; certain land improvements; rights of way and construction in progress. Improvements are depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets. For 2010, the City’s infrastructure consists of roads, traffic signals, sidewalks, storm sewers, and water mains. In addition, the City has recorded construction in progress for City road and sewer projects initiated in 2010. Useful lives for infrastructure were estimated based on the City’s historical records of necessary improvements and replacement. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following useful lives: Buildings 50 Years Equipment 5 - 10 Years Vehicles 5 Years Infrastructure 18 - 75 Years

K. Interfund Balances On the fund financial statements, outstanding interfund loans and unpaid amounts for interfund services are reported as “interfund receivable/payable”. Interfund loans which do not represent available expendable resources are offset by a fund balance reserve account. Interfund balance amounts are eliminated in the statement of net assets, except for any net residual amounts due between governmental and business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances. See Note 20 for interfund receivables/payables as of December 31, 2010. L. Compensated Absences Vacation benefits are accrued as a liability as the benefits are earned if the employees' rights to receive compensation are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that the City will compensate the employees for the benefits through paid time off or some other means. The City records a liability for all accumulated unused vacation time when earned for all employees with more than one month of service. Sick leave benefits are accrued as a liability using the vesting method. The liability includes the employees who are currently eligible to receive termination benefits and those that the City has identified as probable of receiving payment in the future (those employees who will be eligible to receive termination payments in the next twenty years). The amount is based on accumulated sick leave and employee wage rates at year end taking into consideration any limits specified in the City's termination policy and employees with two or more years of service. M. Accrued Liabilities and Long-term Obligations All payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations are reported in the government-wide financial statements, and all payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations payable from proprietary funds are reported on the proprietary fund financial statements.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) M. Accrued Liabilities and Long-term Obligations (continued) In general, governmental fund payables and accrued liabilities that, once incurred, are paid in a timely manner and in full from current financial resources, are reported as obligations of the funds. However, claims and judgments and compensated absences that will be paid from governmental funds are reported as a liability in the fund financial statements only to the extent that they are due for payment during the current year. Bonds and long-term loans are recognized as a liability on the governmental fund financial statements when due. N. Fund Balance Reserves The City reserves those portions of fund balance which are legally segregated for a specific future use or which do not represent expendable resources and therefore are not available for appropriation or expenditure. Fund balance reserves have been established for encumbrances and inventories. O. Net Assets Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. Net assets restricted for other purposes include miscellaneous State and Federal grants. The government-wide Statement of Net Assets reports $7,512,248 of Restricted Net Assets, none of which are restricted by enabling legislation. Net assets restricted for other purposes include resources for police and fire programs, refuse and recycling programs, and streets and highways. The City applies restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available. P. Operating Revenues and Expenses Operating revenues are those revenues that are generated directly from the primary activity of the proprietary funds. For the City, these revenues are charges for services for sanitary sewer services and self-insurance programs. Operating expenses are necessary costs that have been incurred in order to provide the good or service that is the primary activity of the fund. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Q. Interfund Activity Transfers between governmental and business-type activities on the government-wide statements are reported in the same manner as general revenues. Exchange transactions between funds are reported as revenues in the seller funds and as expenditures/expenses in the purchaser funds. Flows of cash or goods from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers are reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental funds and after nonoperating revenues/expenses in proprietary funds. Repayments from funds responsible for particular expenditures/expenses to the funds that initially paid for them are not presented on the financial statements. R. Extraordinary and Special Items Extraordinary items are transactions or events that are both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence. Special items are transactions or events that are within the control of the City and that are either unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. Neither occurred in 2010. S. Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. T. Budgetary Data All funds, except agency funds, are legally required to be budgeted and appropriated. The major documents prepared are the Alternative Tax Budget Information, the Certificate of Estimated Resources, and the Appropriations Ordinance, all of which are prepared on the budgetary basis of accounting. The Alternative Tax Budget Information demonstrates a need for existing or increased tax rates. The Certificate of Estimated Resources establishes a limit on the amount Council may appropriate. The Appropriations Ordinance is Council’s authorization to spend resources and sets annual limits on expenditures plus encumbrances at the level of control selected by Council. The legal level of control has been established by Council through the Appropriation Ordinance at the object level within each department for the general fund and at the object level for all other funds. Budgetary modifications may only be made by ordinance of the City Council at the legal level of control. The Certificate of Estimated Resources may be amended during the year if projected increases or decreases in revenue are identified by the Director of Finance. The amounts reported as the original budgeted amounts on the budgetary statements reflect the amounts on the Certificate of Estimated Resources when the original appropriations were adopted. The amounts reported as the final budgeted amounts on the budgetary statements reflect the amounts on the amended Certificate of Estimated Resources in effect at the time the final appropriations were enacted by Council.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) T. Budgetary Data (continued) The Appropriation Ordinance is subject to amendment throughout the year with the restriction that appropriations cannot exceed estimated resources. The amounts reported as the original budgeted amounts reflect the first Appropriation Ordinance for that fund that covered the entire year, including encumbered amounts carried forward from prior years. The amounts reported as the final budgeted amounts represent the final appropriation amounts passed by Council during the year. U. Subsequent Events In preparing these financial statements, the City has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through July 7, 2011, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Note 3: Change in Accounting Principles For 2010, the City has implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets, GASB Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, and GASB Statement No. 58, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Chapter 9 Bankruptcies. GASB Statement No. 51 established accounting and financial reporting requirements for intangible assets to reduce inconsistencies thereby enhancing the comparability of accounting and financial reporting of such assets among state and local governments. The implementation of this statement did not result in any change to the financial statements. GASB Statement No. 53 enhances the usefulness and comparability of derivative instrument information reported by state and local governments. This Statement provides a comprehensive framework for measurement, recognition, and disclosure of derivative instrument transactions. The implementation of this statement did not result in any change to the financial statements. GASB Statement No. 58 provides account and financial reporting guidance for governments that have petitioned for protection from creditors by filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The requirements in this Statement will provide more consistent recognition, measurement, display, and disclosure guidance for governments that file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy. The implementation of this statement did not result in any change to the financial statements.

Note 4: Budgetary Basis of Accounting While reporting financial position, results of operations, and changes in fund balance on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the budgetary basis as provided by the general laws of the State of Ohio is based upon accounting for certain transactions on a basis of cash receipts, disbursements, and encumbrances. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance - Budget (Non-GAAP Budgetary Basis) and Actual for the General Fund and Recreation Center Fund is presented on the budgetary basis to provide a meaningful comparison of actual results with the budget. The major differences between the budget basis and the GAAP basis are as follows:

1. Revenues are recorded when received in cash (budget) as opposed to when susceptible to accrual (GAAP).

2. Expenditures are recorded when paid in cash (budget) as opposed to when the liability is

incurred (GAAP).

3. Encumbrances are treated as expenditures (budget) rather than as a reservation of fund balance (GAAP).

The following table summarizes the adjustments necessary to reconcile the GAAP basis statements to the budgetary basis statements for the General Fund and the Recreation Fund.

Net Change in Fund Balance

Recreation General Center GAAP Basis $ (927,631) $ 44,220

Net Adjustment for Revenue Accruals (35,392) (1,819)

Net Adjustment for Expenditure Accruals (613,732) (167,328)

Encumbrances (448,273) (69,351)

Budget Basis $ (2,025,028) $ (194,278)

Note 5: Deposits and Investments The City follows the guidelines for deposit of funds set forth by the City Charter as well as certain provisions of Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 135: Uniform Depository Act. City of Rocky River, Charter, Article VII, Section 3. provides “[T]he Director of Finance may invest moneys of the City in any or all of the following: Investments consistent with the general laws of the State of Ohio in accordance with the Ohio Uniform Depository Act and any amendments thereto, bonds or notes of this City, bonds or other obligations of the United States or other obligations of any political subdivision or taxing district of the State as to which there is no default of principal or interest, in such manner as is now or hereafter provided by ordinance of Council or by the laws of the State of Ohio, and the State Treasury Asset Reserve (STAR), an investment pool managed by the Ohio Treasurer of State, as defined in Section 135.45(F)(2)(a) of the Ohio Revised Code.” Ohio Revised Code Section 135.01 classifies public money of the City into three categories: 1) active deposits; 2) inactive deposits and 3) interim deposits. The City maintains active and interim deposits only. Deposits Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned from the depository. Protection of the City’s deposits is provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), by eligible securities pledged by the financial institution as security for repayment, by surety company bonds deposited with or by a single collateral pool established by the financial institution. In accordance with Chapter 135 of the Ohio Revised Code, any public depository receiving deposits pursuant to an award of City funds shall be required to pledge security for repayment of all public moneys deposited with the institution. At year-end, the carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $17,221,976 and the bank balance was $17,546,709. Of the bank balance $4,798,319 was covered by the FDIC and $12,748,390 was uninsured. The entire uninsured bank balance was collateralized with securities held by pledging institutions’ agents in its collateral pool. Investments Investments are reported at fair value. As of December 31, 2010, the City has $350,027 in STAROhio. Interest Rate Risk arises because potential purchasers of debt securities will not agree to pay face value for those securities if interest rates subsequently increase. The City Charter addresses interest rate risk requiring that the City’s investment portfolio be structured so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations and/or long-term debt payments, thereby avoiding that need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity and by investing operating funds primarily in short-term investments. The Ohio Revised Code Chapter 135 also limits security purchases to those that mature five years unless specifically matched to a specific cash flow.

Note 5: Deposits and Investments (continued) Investments (continued) Custodial Risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the City will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified for investment transactions with the City must meet a set of standards prescribed by Ohio Revised Code Chapter 135 and be periodically reviewed. Credit Risk is addressed by the City’s Charter by the requirements that all investments are authorized by Ohio Revised Code and that the portfolio be diversified both by types of investment and issuer. Concentration of Credit Risk is defined by GASB as five percent or more in the securities of a single issuer. The City’s Charter provides for diversification of the portfolio but does not indicate specific percentage allocations. Note 6: Property Taxes Property taxes include amounts levied against real and public utility located in the City. Property tax revenue received during 2010 represents collections of the 2009 taxes. 2010 real property taxes were levied after October 1, 2010, on the assessed value as of January 1, 2010, the lien date. Assessed values are established by Ohio Revised Code at 35 percent of appraised value. 2010 real property taxes are collected in and intended to finance 2011. Public utility tangible personal property currently is assessed at varying percentages of true value; public utility real property is assessed at 35 percent of true value. 2010 public utility property taxes which became a lien December 31, 2009, were levied after October 1, 2010, and were collected in 2010 with real property taxes. In June 2005, House Bill No. 66 (HB 66), a budget bill that included major changes to the State of Ohio tax code, was enacted. One provision of HB 66 was the elimination of the tangible personal property tax; machinery and equipment installed or first used in business after December 31, 2004 was immediately exempt from personal property taxation and the tax on existing machinery and equipment was be phased out by January 1, 2009. HB 66 also provided local governments, including the City, to receive reimbursements for the lost tax revenue. The reimbursements began in 2006 and will continue through 2018. During a hold-harmless period of 2006 through 2010, the City will be fully compensated by the State of Ohio for the reduced tax revenue resulting from the elimination of the tangible personal property tax; from 2011 through 2018, with certain exceptions, the reimbursements will be phased-out. The reimbursed amounts only are reported as Intergovernmental Revenue.

Note 6: Property Taxes (continued) The full tax rate for all City operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $10.90 per $1,000 of assessed value. The full rate for the City is the same as the effective rate. The assessed values of real and public utility upon which 2010 property tax receipts were based as follows: Category Assessed Value Real Property $ 686,743,340 Public Utility Real 6,392,090 Total $ 693,135,430

Real property taxes are payable annually or semi-annually. If paid annually, payment is due December 31; if paid semi-annually, the first payment is due December 31, with the remainder payable by June 20. Under certain circumstances, Ohio Revised Code permits later payment dates to be established.

The Cuyahoga County Treasurer collects property taxes on behalf of all taxing districts in the County, including the City. The County Auditor periodically remits to the City its portion of the taxes. Property taxes receivable represents real and tangible personal property taxes, public utility taxes and outstanding delinquencies which are measurable as of December 31, 2010 and for which there is an enforceable legal claim. In the governmental funds, the entire receivable has been offset by deferred revenue since current taxes were not levied to finance 2010 operations and the collection of delinquent taxes during the available period is not subject to reasonable estimation. On a full accrual basis, collectible delinquent property taxes have been recorded as a receivable and a revenue while on the modified accrual basis the revenue is deferred.

Note 7: Income Taxes The City levies a municipal income tax of 1.5 percent on substantially all income earned within the City. In addition, residents of the City are required to pay the City income tax on income earned outside the City; however, a credit is allowed for income taxes paid to other municipalities which reduces the effective tax rate to 0.5 percent for such earnings. Employers within the City are required to withhold income tax on employee compensation and remit the tax to the City either monthly or quarterly. Corporations and other individual taxpayers must pay their estimated tax quarterly and file a declaration annually. All income tax monies are credited to the General Fund. By contractual agreement, the Central Collection Agency, a division of the City of Cleveland, administers and collects income taxes for the City. Amounts collected are remitted monthly to the City. Collection fees for 2010 were $329,921. Note 8: Receivables Receivables at December 31, 2010, consisted of taxes, accounts (billings for user charged services), special assessments, interest, and intergovernmental receivables. All receivables recorded are deemed collectible in full, as they are recorded net of an allowance for uncollectible portions. The allowance is based on aged accounts receivable and current year revenues. The City has approximately $4,000 in uncollectible billings for user charged services. Special assessments expected to be collected beyond one year amount to $510,000 in the special assessment bond retirement fund. The amount of delinquent special assessments outstanding is $156,000 at December 31, 2010.

Note 10: Joint Venture - Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant (Plant) is a joint venture among the cities of Rocky River, Bay Village, Fairview Park and Westlake. The Plant is governed by a management committee consisting of the elected mayors of the four member cities and a fifth person nominated and elected by the mayors. The committee has authority over all aspects of the Plant’s operation. The Plant supplies all participating residents of the member cities with sanitary sewer services. Each city owns the sewage lines located in its city and bills its residents for usage. Continued existence of the Plant is dependent on the City's continued participation, and the City does have an equity interest in the Plant. The City's equity interest is $5,821,706 which represents 25.43 percent of the total equity in the Plant. The Plant is not accumulating significant financial resources or experiencing fiscal stress which would cause additional financial benefit to or burden on the City. Complete financial statements can be obtained from the Director of Finance, City of Rocky River, 21012 Hilliard Boulevard, Rocky River, Ohio 44116, who serves as fiscal agent. Note 11: Related Party Transactions Since the continued existence of the Plant is dependent upon the participation of each member city, all transactions between the Plant and each member city are considered related party transactions. The Plant’s transactions during 2010 involving the City of Rocky River, are summarized as follows: A. Charges for Services and Contributions for Capital Assets Replacement Fund Charges for services revenue for 2010 consists of amounts charged to the member cities for wastewater treatment services provided to the member cities’ residents and contributions to the Plant for plant and equipment replacement, as follows: Charges for Services Contributions Rocky River $ 1,080,750 $ 161,735 As of December 31, 2010, the City of Rocky River owed the Plant $216,150 for the charges discussed above which is recorded as Accounts Payable.

Note 12: Risk Management The City is exposed to various risks related to damage to, theft of and destruction of assets; torts; errors and omissions; natural disasters; and injuries to employees. During 2010, the City obtained insurance coverage with private insurance carriers to address exposure to certain of these risks. There has not been a significant reduction in coverage from the prior year and settled claims have not exceeded coverage in any of the past three years. Protection for employees injured while at work is provided through the two agencies of the State of Ohio: the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) and the Industrial Commission of Ohio (IC). The BWC has the administrative and insurance function, collecting workers’ compensation insurance premiums from employers, and overseeing compensable claims of injured workers. The IC is the claims adjudicative branch that resolves disputes arising from a workers’ compensation claim. Also, the City has contracted with a third party administrator and a managed care organization to provide case management, consulting and administrative services. Since May 2002, the City has provided employees (and eligible dependents) medical and prescription drug benefits on a partially self-insured basis; dental benefits are provided on a fully insured basis. The City contracts with a third party administrator to process and pay claims and has obtained stop loss coverage for claims individual and aggregate per year claims. The City pays a monthly premium into the Self Insurance Fund for each employee that varies according to employee group. These rates are paid by the fund from which the employees’ salary is paid. Incurred but not reported claims of $107,473 have been accrued as a liability at December 31, 2010 based on an estimate by the third party administrator.

Changes in the fund's claims liability amount were: Balance at Current Year Claim Balance at Beginning of Year Claims Payments End of Year 2006 $ 76,204 $ 1,593,421 $ 1,544,522 $ 125,103 2007 125,103 1,566,834 1,531,017 160,920 2008 160,920 2,226,471 2,100,829 286,562 2009 286,562 1,494,393 1,690,461 90,484 2010 90,484 1,800,064 1,783,075 107,473

Note 13: Defined Benefit Pension Plans A. Ohio Public Employees Retirement System The City participates in the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS). OPERS administers three separate pension plans: the traditional plan, the member directed plan and the combined plan. The traditional plan is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. The member-directed plan is a defined contribution plan in which the member invests both member and employer contributions (employer contributions vest over five years at 20% per year). Under the member directed plan, members accumulate retirement assets equal to the value of the member and vested employer contributions plus any investment earnings. The combined plan is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that has elements of both a defined benefit and a defined contribution plan. Under the combined plan, OPERS invests employer contributions to provide a formula retirement benefit similar in nature to, but less than, the traditional plan benefit. Member contributions, the investment of which is self-directed by the members, accumulate retirement assets in a manner similar to the member directed plan. OPERS provides retirement, disability, survivor and death benefits and annual cost of living adjustments to members of the traditional and combined plans. Members of the member directed plan do not qualify for ancillary benefits. Authority to establish and amend benefits is provided by Chapter 145 of the Ohio Revised Code. OPERS issues a stand-alone financial report that may be obtained by writing to OPERS, 277 E. Town St., Columbus, OH 43215-4642 or by calling (614) 222-5601 or 800-222-7377. For 2010, the members and employer contribution rates were consistent across all three plans. For the year ended, December 31 2010, the members of all three plans were required to contribute 10.0 percent of their annual covered salary to fund pension obligations. The City contributed 14.0 percent of covered payroll, of which 5.5 percent from January 1 through February 28 and 5.0 percent from March 1 through December 31 was used to fund health care coverage for retirees. The contribution rate is determined actuarially. The Ohio Revised Code provides statutory authority for member and employer contributions. The City’s required contributions for pension obligations, excluding the health care portion, to the traditional and combined plans for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $867,293, $752,579, and $664,080, respectively; 86.57 percent has been contributed for 2010, 100 percent for 2009 and 2008. Contributions to the member-directed plan for 2010 were $25,303 made by the City and $18,073 made by the plan members. B. Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund The City contributes to the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund (OP&F), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. The OP&F provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Benefit provisions are established by the Ohio State Legislature and are codified in Chapter 742 of the Ohio Revised Code. The OP&F issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial information and required supplementary information for the plan. That report may be obtained by writing to OP&F, 140 East Town Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215-5164.

Note 13: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (continued) B. Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund (continued) Plan members are required to contribute 10 percent of their annual covered salary, while employers are required to contribute 19.5 percent for police officers and 24 percent for firefighters. Contributions are authorized by State statute. The City’s contributions, excluding the health care portion, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 for police officers were $357,644, $335,592, and $329,033 and for firefighters were $414,062, $391,185, and $373,526, respectively, equal to the required contributions for each year. The full amount has been contributed for years 2008 and 2009, and 73.95% and 73.25% has been contributed for 2010 for police and firefighters, respectively. Note 14: Postemployment Benefits A. Ohio Public Employees Retirement System OPERS maintains a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit post-employment healthcare plan, which includes a medical plan, prescription drug program and Medicare Part B premium reimbursement, to qualifying members of both the traditional pension and the combined plans. Members of the member-directed plan do not qualify for ancillary benefits, including post-employment health care coverage. In order to qualify for post-retirement health care coverage, age and service retirees under the traditional pension and combined plans must have 10 or more years of qualifying service credit. Health care coverage for disability recipients and qualified survivor recipients is available. The health care coverage provided by OPERS meets the definition of an Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) as described in GASB Statement No. 45. The Ohio Revised Code permits, but does not mandate, OPERS to provide OPEB benefits to its eligible members and beneficiaries. Authority to establish and amend benefits is provided in Chapter 145 of the Ohio Revised Code. OPERS issues a stand-alone financial report that may be obtained in writing to OPERS, 227 E. Town St., Columbus, OH, 43215-4642, or by calling (614)222-5601 or 800-222-7377. The Ohio Revised Code provides statutory authority requiring employers to fund post-retirement health care through their contributions to OPERS. A portion of each employer’s contribution to OPERS is set aside for the funding of post-retirement health care. Employer contribution rates are expressed as a percentage of the covered payroll of active members. In 2010, the City contributed at a rate of 14.0 percent of covered payroll. The Ohio Revised Code currently limits the employer contribution to a rate not to exceed 14.0 percent of covered payroll for state and local employer units. Active members do not make contributions to the OPEB plan. OPERS’ Post Employment Health Care plan was established under, and is administered in accordance with, Internal Revenue Code 401(h). Each year, the OPERS Board of Trustees determines the portion of the employer contribution rate that will be set aside for funding of the post employment health care benefits. For 2010, the employer contribution allocated to the health care plan for members in the Traditional Plan was 5.5 percent from January 1 through February 28 and 5.0 percent from March 1 through December 31 of covered payroll. The employer contribution allocated to the health care plan for members in the Combined Plan was

Note 14: Postemployment Benefits (continued) A. Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (continued) 4.73 percent from January 1 through February 28 and 4.23 percent from March 1 through December 31 of covered payroll. The OPERS Board of Trustees is also authorized to establish rules for the payment of a portion of the health care benefits provided, by the retiree or their surviving beneficiaries. Payment amounts vary depending on the number of covered dependents and the coverage selected. The City’s contributions allocated to fund post-employment health care benefits for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $495,719, $550,501, and $664,080, respectively; 86.57 percent has been contributed for 2010, 100 percent has been contributed for 2009 and 2008. The Health Care Preservation Plan (HCPP) adopted by the OPERS Board of Trustees on September 9, 2004, was effective January 1, 2007. Member and employer contribution rates increased as of January 1 of each year from 2006 to 2008. These rate increases allowed additional funds to be allocated to the health care plan. B. Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund The City contributes to the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund (OP&F) sponsored health care program, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined postemployment health care plan administered by the OP&F. OP&F provides healthcare benefits including coverage for medical, prescription drugs, dental, vision, Medicare Part B Premium and long term care to retirees, qualifying benefit recipients and their eligible dependents. OPP&F provides access to post-retirement health care coverage for any person who receives or is eligible to receive a monthly service, disability, or survivor benefit check or is a spouse or eligible dependent child of such person. The health care coverage provided by OP&F meets the definition of an Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) as described in GASB Statement 45. The Ohio Revised Code allows, but does not mandate OP&F to provide OPEB benefits. Authority for the OP&F Board of Trustees to provide health care coverage to eligible participants and to establish and amend benefits is codified in Chapter 742 of the Ohio Revised Code. OP&F issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial information and required supplementary information for the Plan. That report may be obtained by writing to the Pension Fund, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, 140 E. Town St., Columbus, Ohio 43215-5164. The Ohio Revised Code provides for contribution requirements of the participating employers and of the plan members to the OP&F (defined benefit pension plan). Participating employers are required to contribute to the pension plan at rates expressed as percentages of the payroll of active pension plan members, currently, 19.5 percent and 24.0 percent of covered payroll for police and fire employers, respectively. The Ohio revised Code states that the employer contribution may not exceed 19.5 percent of the covered payroll for police employer units and 24.0 percent of covered payroll for fire employer units. Active members do not make contributions to the OPEB Plan.

Note 14: Postemployment Benefits (continued) B. Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund (continued) OP&F maintains funds for health care in two separate accounts. One for health care benefits under an IRS Code Section 115 trust and one for Medicare Part B reimbursements administered as an Internal Revenue Code 401(h) account, both of which are within the defined benefit pension plan, under the authority granted by the Ohio Revised Code to the OP&F Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is authorized to allocate a portion of the total employer contributions made into the pension plan to the Section 115 trust and the Section 401(h) account as the employer contribution for retiree health care benefits. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the employer contribution allocated to health care plan was 6.75 percent of covered payroll. The amount of employer contributions allocated to the health care plan each year is subject to the Trustees’ primary responsibility to ensure that pension benefits are adequately funded and is limited by the provisions of Sections 1150 and 401(h). The OP&F Board of Trustees also is authorized to establish requirements for contributions to the health care plan by retirees and their eligible dependents, or their surviving beneficiaries. Payment amounts vary depending on the number of covered dependents and the coverage selected. The City’s total contributions to OP&F for police and fire for the years ending December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $546,985, $513,258, and $503,227 and $576,086, $544,258, and $519,688, respectively, of which $189,341, $177,666, and $174,194 and $162,024, $153,073, and $146,162, respectively, was allocated to the healthcare plan.

Vacation leave not used within two years is eliminated from the employee's leave balance. All accumulated unused vacation time is paid upon termination of employment. Employees earn sick leave at the rate of 2.3 hours for every forty hours worked, except for the fire division where employees earn 9.69 hours for every 168 hours worked.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial

Statements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards Members of the City Council Rocky River, Ohio We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rocky River, Ohio (the “City”), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated July 7, 2011, wherein we noted the City adopted GASB Statement No.’s. 51, 53, and 58 as disclosed in Note 3. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, we indentified certain deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, described in the accompanying schedule of findings that we consider to be significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting: 2010-1. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government auditing Standards. We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the City in a separate letter dated July 7, 2011. The City’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings. We did not audit the City’s response, and accordingly, we express no opinion on it. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, City Council, the Audit Committee, others within the entity, and the Auditor of State’s Office and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

2010-1 – Significant Deficiency A capital asset management system is a system of methods, policies, and procedures that address the acquisition, use, control, protection, maintenance, and disposal of assets. Accurate accounting for assets is required for the correct and complete presentation of capital asset financial information. While reviewing the City’s procedures for maintaining capital asset records, we noted the following:

The City maintains a listing of certain movable equipment and vehicles; however, the City does not maintain a complete detailed list of all capital assets, including the year of acquisition, the original or estimated historical cost of each capital asset, the serial number or tag number, and if applicable, accumulated depreciation and current depreciation for each capital asset or asset class. The City has installed a CMI capital asset module (FASX) onto the City’s server; however, not all of the City’s capital assets are recorded in the system.

The City does not have a written capital asset policy.

Based on the presentation in Note 9, vehicles for the business-type activities will be fully

depreciated in less than two years. AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide: State and Local Governments – March 2010 paragraph 7.28 provides that in estimating useful life for calculating depreciation governments should consider an asset’s present condition and how long it is expected to meet service demands. On an annual basis, the City should analyze the useful life used for its assets and adjust them if necessary. A capital asset system would assist in performing this function.

We recommend the City develop a written capital asset policy and record all capital assets into the CMI capital asset module to properly account for the acquisition date, description of the asset, identification or tag number, fund and function the asset is assigned to, original or estimated historical cost, accumulated depreciation, current year depreciation expense, salvage value, and if applicable, the carrying value of each asset.
